"The Texas Children's Maternity Center is an extension of collaborative relationships we've forged with other hospitals over the years," according to Wallace. "The addition of a high-risk OB program is a natural fit that complements our services for critically ill newborns and infants and is the best way we know to improve neonatal outcomes. We will be providing the very best care available, while bringing a very special expertise to the child. It's why we're able to recruit the best physicians in the country, such as acclaimed fetal interventionalists Drs. Moise and Johnson, who will help form the cornerstone of this new program."

In recognition of growing health care needs and a shifting population base, Texas Children's will expand its existing work in the community by breaking ground on one of the largest suburban pediatric hospitals in the country. For west Houston, one of the fastest-growing areas nationally, plans call for an emergency center, operating rooms, intermediate and acute-care inpatient beds and outpatient services as well as physician offices.
"We will bring a full range of needed, world-class pediatric services to support the area. This is the health care model of the future: to get to patients and treat them before they become critically ill and to ensure that they receive access to the full continuum of care," says Wallace. "We're simply building off the fine work of our Texas Children's Pediatric Associates group, our community clinics and neighborhood initiatives to ensure that the highest quality of pediatric care is accessible."
